I disabled my graphics card: black screen!

In bold is when it's important.

Hello,
not long ago I decided to format my computer using the Windows 7 installation disc and everything went fine until then, but I encountered a problem afterwards when restarting my computer when I saw that the active graphics card on my computer was the one from my processor (I'm not sure), so I wanted to disable it by using the correct graphics card. And while disabling the card, I ended up with a black screen and this has been going on for a month now, and during this month I've done a lot of research online and haven't found any answers.
I tried opening my computer case to unplug/replug my graphics card but it didn't work, and I don't want to fiddle too much inside my computer case until I'm sure of what I'm doing.

Graphics card: GeForce GTX 660
Processor: Intel Core i5

If you need more information just let me know.
Thank you for reading, I would be very grateful to the person who helps me solve my problem.

    How many ports do you have to connect the screen in VGA (trapezoidal, with 15 pins and often blue) I assume a horizontal one at the bottom and a vertical one at the top, right?

      I only have one in vertical with the other one in white, that's the DVI.

      Hello

      I think you need to go through the BIOS to select the PCIe card, press delete at startup for advanced options, chipset.

        Hello, I don't have access to the BIOS, I have a constant black screen and when I start the computer as well.

      So, as poupougne said, check if you have another socket of the same type as the one where the screen is currently plugged in and plug it in there for the time it takes to access the BIOS to select the PCI-E port, and then reconnect your screen to the original port.

      Best regards.
